Table - best surf conditions forecast for Costeño Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here, breaking down the next couple of weeks. It’s a long stretch of mostly average surf, but there are a couple of windows that could be worth your time.
The main issue is the wind. For the first week and a half, it’s blowing cross-on or cross most of the time, which is going to mess with the wave quality. The water is about 82°F, which is normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The best bet in the near term is Monday afternoon, July 13th at Costeño Beach. The wind goes glassy, and you’ve got a clean 7ft swell from the NE with an 8-second period. Combined energy is moderate at 507. For that one session, the waves will be clean and lined up. It’s not a big swell, but it’ll be the best quality you’ll see all week. The rest of that week is mostly choppy and average.
The one to circle on the calendar is Monday afternoon, July 20th. That’s a week and a half out, so it’s a long-range hope, but the forecast shows a 10ft NE swell with glassy wind. Combined energy jumps to 1078, which is strong. That’s a big, powerful wave, and it’s going to be too much for beginners. For experienced surfers, with the wind flat, it could be a proper session. The period is only 8 seconds, so it’ll be a bit lumpy, but the size and clean conditions make it the standout.
Between those two, you’re looking at a lot of 6ft to 7ft NE swell with cross-on wind. The waves are there, but they’ll be choppy and hard to love. The consistency is good, but the quality is a grind. In the middle of the second week, the swell drops a little, and the energy numbers fall, so expect a slower period.
If you want clean surf, hit July 13th afternoon. For a big-wave gamble, keep an eye on July 20th afternoon. The rest is just making the best of a so-so run.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Costeño Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Costeño Beach surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Costeño Beach) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Costeño Beach may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
